Claude Design Content Calendar: Ditch the Spreadsheet for Good
Share the goodness!
Listen to this episode
Claudia Sandino spent up to a month building one content calendar in Google Sheets, then sent her boss four separate folder links so he could approve a single post. In this session she rebuilds that calendar as an interactive hub in Claude Design, edits it by talking to it, and says plainly where the tool still falls short.
What you’ll take away
Load your design system first: logo, fonts, colors, nothing more.
Her calendar prompt, with dropdowns per platform and ownership tabs.
Moving a week of posts to next month takes one sentence.
No multi-person editing yet, so she hands off to Canva through MCP.
Raw and unbranded, it invents data, so she reads every cell and checks the dates.
She built a reels production tracker with the time she got back.
